Built over 150 years ago by Sir Moses Montefiore, Mishkenot Sha'ananim became the first Jewish residential area outside the Old City walls and Yemin Moshe was built next to it a few years later. Today, these are upscale neighborhoods with spectacular views of the Old City. The Windmill recognized as the hallmark of Yemin Moshe, is a common feature in Jerusalem art and literature and marks the western expansion of the city. The Inbal and The King Solomon Hotels face these neighborhoods and The Dan Panorama and Kings Hotels are within 5 minutes walking distance. 1868 Chef Gourmet 02-6222312 K Angelica Bistro 02-6230056 K Olive & Fish Fusion Meat 02-5665020 K Touro Bistro 02-5702189 K Montefiore Dairy 02-6232928 K Satya Chef 02-6506808 Mediterranean Cit Center The culinary scene in central Jerusalem has developed beyond recognition in recent years and this is where you can find some of the city's leading restaurants... be it on Shlomtzion Hamalka Street, the Ben Shatach and Ben Yehuda Pedestrian malls, Hillel and Shamai streets, Independence Park or many of the side streets.

  • The Changing Forms of Incitement to Terror and Violence
    THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: TERROR AND TO THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT The most neglected yet critical component of international terror is the element of incitement. Incitement is the medium through which the ideology of terror actually materializes into the act of terror itself. But if indeed incitement is so obviously and clearly a central component of terrorism, the question remains: why does the international community in general, and international law in particular, not posit a crime of incitement to terror? Is there no clear dividing line between incitement to terror and the fundamental right to freedom of speech? With such questions in mind, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung held an international conference on incitement. This volume presents the insights of the experts who took part, along with a Draft International Convention to Combat Incitement to Terror and Violence that is intended for presentation to the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The Need for a New International Response International a New for Need The THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: The Need for a New International Response Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs המרכז הירושלמי לענייני ציבור ומדינה )ע"ר( THE CHANGING FORMS OF INCITEMENT TO TERROR AND VIOLENCE: The Need for a New International Response Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs המרכז הירושלמי לענייני ציבור ומדינה )ע"ר( This volume is based on a conference on “Incitement to Terror and Violence: New Challenges, New Responses” under the auspices of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, held on November 8, 2011, at the David Citadel Hotel, Jerusalem.

  • Learn More About the MOTJ (PDF)
    MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE JERUSALEMO A SIMON TWIESENTHAL CENTERJ MUSEUM BECOME A PARTNER IN CREATION For 2,000 years, the Jewish people have yearned to return to their Promised Land. Wherever they were, they always faced East in their prayers, never giving up hope that one day they or their progeny would return. They were proud to drink wine or have a charity box in their home from the Land of Israel. In May of 1948, their collective dreams were finally realized when David Ben-Gurion announced to the world the creation of the State of Israel. At this historic moment, 71 years later, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is in the final stages of building its Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem – MOTJ – in the heart of the city center. The MOTJ is within walking distance to the Old City and the Western Wall. It is a few blocks from the King David and Waldorf Astoria hotels, two blocks from Ben Yehuda Street, around the corner from the Mamilla shopping mall and in close proximity to the American Embassy, the Knesset, Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister and President’s residences. World leaders and dignitaries who come to Jerusalem will visit the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem for years to come. Rabbi Marvin Hier To accomplish our goal, we are looking to partner with philanthropists and visionaries from the United States and around the world who will support this once-in-a-lifetime project. Donors to the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem will have the additional privilege of linking their name in perpetuity in the center of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people.
